emergency situation, or if the standard brakes
are malfunctioning or the pedal is obstructed.
> Pull and hold the ©) switch.
> As soon as you release the ©) switch or acceler-
ate, the braking stops.
Pulling
and holding the ©) switch while driving
the vehicle activates the emergency braking func-
tion. The hydraulic brake system will brake all
four wheels. The braking effect is similar to heavy
braking > A\.
To reduce the risk of activating the emergency
braking by mistake, a warning tone (buzzer)
sounds when the ©) switch is pulled. Emergency
braking stops as soon as the ©) switch is released
or the accelerator pedal is pressed.

> Turn the steering wheel when parking on in-
clines so that the wheels will roll into the curb
if the vehicle starts moving.

ZA WARNING
— Ifa gear is engaged while the vehicle is sta-
tionary and the engine is running, do not
press the accelerator pedal inadvertently.
Otherwise, the vehicle will start to move im-
mediately and this could result in an acci-
dent.
— Emergency braking should only be used in
an emergency, when the when the standard
brake pedal is malfunctioning or obstructed.
During emergency braking, your vehicle will
brake similar to heavy braking. ESC and the
associated components (ABS, ASR, EDL) can-
not overcome the laws of physics. In corners
and when road or weather conditions are
bad, a full brake application can cause the
vehicle to skid or the rear end to swerve,
which increases the risk of an accident.
— If the power supply fails, you cannot set the
parking brake once it is released. In this
case, park the vehicle on level ground and
secure it by placing the selector lever in the
P position. See an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility for assis-
tance.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. This
applies particularly when children remain in
the vehicle. Otherwise children could start
the engine, release the parking brake or op-
erate electrical equipment such as power
windows, which increases the risk of an acci-
dent.
— No one should remain in the vehicle when it
is locked - especially children. Locked doors
make it more difficult for emergency work-
ers to get into the vehicle, which puts lives
at risk.

C) Note
Do not leave your vehicle unattended while
the engine is running, because this increases
the risk of an accident.

mode. The selected driving mode is shown in the
Infotainment display.
In the normal mode "D", the transmission auto-
matically selects the correct gear. It depends on
engine load, vehicle speed and driving style.
Select the sport mode "S" for sporty driving. The
vehicle makes full use of the engine's power.
Shifting may become noticeable when accelerat-
ing.
To move from selector lever position "N" to "D",
you must press the brake pedal and the vehicle
must be traveling less than 1 mph (2 km/h) or be
stationary > A.

Z\ WARNING
Read and follow all WARNINGS.
— Before starting to drive, check if the desired
selector lever position is displayed next to
the selector lever.
— The vehicle can roll even if the ignition is
switched off.
— Never select "R" or "P" while driving, be-
cause this increases the risk of an accident.
— Power is still transmitted to the wheels
when the engine is running at idle. To pre-
vent the vehicle from “creeping”, you must
keep your foot on the brake in all selector
lever positions (except “P”) when the engine
is running. Otherwise, this increases the risk
of an accident.
— Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gear is
engaged. Otherwise the vehicle will start to
move immediately, even if the parking brake
is set. This could result in a crash.
— Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running.
— Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear. If you must leave your
vehicle when the engine is running, set the
parking brake and move the selector lever to
the "P" position.
—To decrease the risk of an accident, the se-
lector lever must be in the P position and

the parking brake must be set before open-
ing the hood and working ona running en-
gine. Always read and follow the applicable
warnings > page 227, General information.

@) Note
Never let the vehicle roll downhill with engine
off and the selector lever in the "N" position,
because this could damage the automatic
transmission and catalytic converter.
G) Tips
— Drive select: sporty shifting characteristics
can be selected using the Dynamic driving
mode. The Infotainment display shows S as
the selector lever position instead of D.
— If you accidentally select "N" while driving,
take your foot off the accelerator pedal im-
mediately and wait for the engine to slow
down to idle before selecting "D" or "S".
— If there is a power failure, the selector lever
will not move out of the "P" position. The
emergency release can be used if this hap-
pens. Left-hand drive vehicles > page 68.

press lock button on selector lever
The automatic shift lock only functions when the
vehicle is stationary or at speeds below 1 mph
(2 km/h). At higher speeds, the lock is automati-
cally deactivated in the "N" position.
The selector lever is not locked when shifting
quickly through "N", for example from "R" to "D".
This makes it possible to free the vehicle when it
is stuck by “rocking” it. The selector lever lock en-
gages if the lever stays in the "N" position longer
than approximately two seconds when the brake
pedal is not pressed.
Interlock button
The interlock button in the selector lever handle
prevents you from moving the selector lever in-
advertently while in some selector lever posi-
tions. The positions that require the interlock
button to be pressed are marked in color in the il-
lustration > fig. 68.

Z\ WARNING
Read and follow all WARNINGS. > A\ in Selec-
tor lever positions on page 62.
@) Tips
—If the selector lever does not engage, there
is a malfunction. The engine is disabled to
prevent the vehicle from driving off uninten-
tionally. To allow the selector lever to en-
gage again, proceed as follows:
— Briefly press the brake pedal.
— If the vehicle does not move forward or in
reverse even though a drive position is se-
lected, proceed as follows:

You can shift into tiptronic mode while the vehi-
cle is stationary or while driving.
> To shift into tiptronic mode, push the selector
lever from the “D/S” setting to the right in the
66
tiptronic shift gate. Once the transmission has
switched modes, the selector lever position M
is shown in the Infotainment system display
=> page 62, fig. 67. For example M4 means the
fourth gear is engaged.

> fig. 71.
> To shift down one gear, tap the shift paddle ©).
If the shift paddles are tapped while in the D/S
selector lever position, automatic mode switches
off briefly. To switch from manually shifting back
to automatic shifting immediately, tap the shift
paddle @) © fig. 71 for 1 second.
To keep shifting using the shift paddles, move the
selector lever to the right out of the D/S position
into the tiptronic shift gate.
The transmission automatically shifts up or down
before critical engine speed is reached.
The transmission only allows manual shifting
when the engine speed is within the permitted
range.
@) Tips
tiptronic does not work if the transmission is
running in emergency mode.
Kick-down enables maximum acceleration.
When you press the accelerator pedal down be-
yond the resistance point, the automatic trans-
mission downshifts into a lower gear and the en-
gine utilizes its full power, if the vehicle speed
and engine RPM permit. It shifts up into the next
higher gear once the maximum permitted engine
RPM is reached.

Assist systems

Assist systems
Speed warning system
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system
The speed warning system helps you to stay be-
low a specified maximum speed that can be set,
changed or deleted in the Infotainment system.
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set.
A warning tone will sound as soon as your speed
exceeds the stored value slightly. The oe) in-
dicator light and a message will appear in the in-
strument cluster display at the same time. The
owe indicator light and the message turn off if
the speed falls back below the stored maximum
speed.
Setting a threshold is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when you reach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener-
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed for winter tires.
Setting the warning threshold
> Select in the Infotainment system: MENU but-
ton > Vehicle > left control button > Driver as-
sistance > Speed warning > Manual.
G) Tips
Regardless of the speed warning system, you
should always monitor your speed using the
speedometer and make sure you are following
the legal speed limit.
Cruise control system
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
The cruise control system assists the driver in
maintaining a constant speed above approxi-
mately 15 mph (20 km/h). The system maintains
the desired speed by braking and accelerating.

Z\ WARNING
— Always pay attention to the traffic around
your vehicle when the cruise control system
is in operation. As the driver, you are always
responsible for controlling your vehicle
speed and the distance between your vehicle
and
other vehicles.
— For safety reasons, cruise control should not
be used in the city, in stop-and-go traffic, on
winding roads, and when road conditions are
poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain,
and conditions that could lead to hydroplan-
ing), because this increases the risk of an ac-
cident.
— Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes, highway exits,
or in construction zones.
—To reduce the risk of an accident, you should
only resume the stored speed if it is suitable
for the current traffic conditions.
() Note
Before driving downhill a long distance on a
steep hill, decrease your speed and select a
lower gear. This makes use of the engine brak-
ing effect and reduces the load placed on the
brakes.
G) Tips
The brake lights turn on when the brakes are
applied automatically.
